What is it about?
This study examines how school leadership in Spain has evolved from crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic to a focus on digital and inclusive education in its aftermath. The research analyzes changes in belief, religiosity, and religious controversies, as well as the evolution of religious socialization, over two decades from 1998 to 2018. Using data from three waves of surveys, the study reveals a trend towards declining religious belief and practice, coupled with an increase in atheistic and non-religious attitudes. The findings highlight the importance of intergenerational and ideological shifts in explaining changes in religious beliefs, suggesting that these factors are more influential than traditional religious socialization processes.

This research is significant because it provides insights into how educational leadership has adapted to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent need for digital and inclusive education. The study's findings on religious trends in Spain over two decades also offer valuable context for understanding broader societal changes. This information is crucial for policymakers, educators, and researchers in developing strategies to address the evolving needs of students and teachers in a post-pandemic educational landscape. Additionally, the study's examination of religious socialization trends contributes to our understanding of changing social dynamics in Spain, which could have implications for educational policies and practices.
